Let Z and Q be the sets of integers and rationals respectively.
a) Does there exist a partition of Z into three non-empty subsets A,B,C such that the sets A+B,B+C,C+A are disjoint?
b) Does there exist a partition of Q into three non-empty subsets A,B,C such that the sets A+B,B+C,C+A are disjoint?Here X+Y denotes the set {x+y:x∈X,y∈Y}, for X,Y⊆Z and for X,Y⊆Q. number theorymodular arithmeticIMO Shortlist
